We provide a deterministic algorithm for computing the $5$-edge-connected components of an undirected multigraph in linear time. There were probably good indications that this computation can be performed in linear time, but no such…

We consider transportation networks that are modeled by dynamic graphs, and introduce the possibility for traveling agents to use Backward Time-Travel (BTT) devices at any node to go back in time (to some extent, and with some appropriate…

In this paper we study a property of time-dependent graphs, dubbed path ranking invariance. Broadly speaking, a time-dependent graph is path ranking invariant if the ordering of its paths (w.r.t. travel time) is independent of the start…

The Temporal Graph Exploration problem (TEXP) takes as input a temporal graph, i.e., a sequence of graphs $(G_i)_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ on the same vertex set, and asks for a walk of shortest length visiting all vertices, where the $i$-th step…

We study graph classes modeled by families of non-crossing (NC) connected sets. Two classic graph classes in this context are disk graphs and proper interval graphs. We focus on the cases when the sets are paths and the host is a tree…

An Eulerian walk (or Eulerian trail) is a walk (resp. trail) that visits every edge of a graph $G$ at least (resp. exactly) once. This notion was first discussed by Leonhard Euler while solving the famous Seven Bridges of K\"{o}nigsberg…
